New people and new businesses come into the market all the time so in order to keep people from giving away bags and having them be a huge waste you need the law to stay in force forever, pretty much. Or at least until the standard for bags changes substantially.Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723733406348223879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086764876629036045.post-17439093920312174302012-05-15T05:48:37.616-04:002012-05-15T05:48:37.616-04:00Well, I can imagine factories bribing mayors all a...Well, I can imagine factories bribing mayors all across the country.

I don't see what's to be gained by getting rid of the law.<br /><br />Is it costing the city some stupid amount of money to enforce the law or something?Ziggynyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07518980519046202646noreply@blogger.com
